Verdict

Cliff Face is 14lb higher than when scoring at Kempton in November while Elysian Fields won off an 8lb lower mark at Newmarket in October and has a run under her belt. Perfect Summer and Langlauf won lower grade contests over shorter trips last time while both Jelly Monger and Graceland went close on their latest starts with the latter preferred dropping back down in distance. But NOTICE is expected to improve for the extra test of stamina having gone close at Goodwood on her reappearance and David Simcock’s filly gets the nod with an apprentice’s allowance further helping her cause.
